2297. Helsinki.Hotelli Vaakuna.

















Dear Erno,

One of Erkki Huttunen's masterpieces was the Sokos
Hotel Vaakuna, built in 1952 for the Summer Olympics
held by Helsinki that year. 
The luxurious but highly functional hotel features
wonderful brass lamps by prominent designer Paavo 
Tynell that fortunately are still in perfect order.
Besides the lamps the beautiful lobby features a fountain 
with a red granite sculpture by finnish sculpture Gunnar
Finne. 

Best regards,
R
